Nov 2, 2022 · Aim: The “2022 ACC/AHA Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Aortic Disease” provides recommendations to guide clinicians in the diagnosis, genetic evaluation and family screening, medical therapy, endovascular and surgical treatment, and long-term surveillance of patients with aortic disease across its multiple clinical presentation subsets (ie, asymptomatic, stable symptomatic, and acute aortic syndromes). Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted from January ...

Jun 8, 2024 · Gated chest CT is the first-line imaging modality to assess acute aortic syndrome. Family Screening. A multigenerational family history is indicated for patients with aortic root or ascending aorta aneurysms or aortic dissection. Patients at risk for hereditary thoracic aortic disease should undergo genetic testing for known aortopathy genes.
The 2022 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Aortic Disease (ACC/AHA Aortic Disease Guideline) provides guidance for clinicians on the “diagnosis, genetic evaluation and family screening, medical therapy, endovascular and surgical treatment, and long-term surveillance of patients with aortic disease.” 1 In this Guideline-at-a-Glance, practice-changing recommendations from the guideline are highlighted to accelerate ...
Nov 2, 2022 · New guidance covers recommendations for surgery, imaging, family screening, and the importance of a multidisciplinary team - The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association have published a new guideline on the diagnosis and management of aortic disease, focusing on surgical intervention considerations, consistent imaging practices, genetic and familial screenings, and the importance of a multidisciplinary aortic team.
